They are amazing on game day. Any day really, but there's something about sitting up at the bar with my football wife, bundled in sweaters sipping on bloody marys and watching the games.

Everybody's invited to The Grapevine!

Safe flight ND!

Good on you Robin!

2 shots of chocolate vodka + 2 shots of Baileys is not exactly like a Boston Cream Pie martini, but it's tasty. And packs a whallop.

This whole on-the-wagon thing is starting to suck.

I love that espresso vodka. Great for shots.

I took Emmett shopping for school clothes today. He got new shoes and the Footlocker guy talked me into getting these gel heel inserts that Emmett declares to be super comfy.

Then we saw the Simpsons movie (again). Played Time Crisis (first person shooter) game at the Starcade.

Then we got fresh made cream puffs from Papa Beard's (super delish - you can watch them pump the cream in! t /porn)

Then we picked up boutique soda (Dublin Dr. Pepper and Virgil's Root Beer).

Then we picked up my paycheck and he's now playing his Nintendo DS.

He declares it to be a truly great day.

Is espresso vodka full of caffeine?

Eta: hooray for Emmett's great day! It does sound pretty good.

Yay for Emmett's day. I'm sorry he's seeing so much of life (the bad) so young. But on the other hand I think he's seeing a great deal of life (the good) young as well.

Oh, man, I'm jealous. I've been whimpering over that cream puff place for a while now.

My spectacular day: Um. I got rid of a metric assload of work and my desk is kind of sort of clean now. However, I still have two absurdly overdue projects not even touched, let alone started, much less done. Why am I like this?

Must be the lack of cream puffs.

I just had a hootenanny pancake. It was awesome. And very Buffy/Buffista-like. I feel the need to make one (or 20) for brunch sometime.

I don't even know what that is and I want (you to make us) some.
